Bunny Storage vs DigitalOcean Spaces

Bunny Storage

$0.01 a GB-month for Standard storage, no request fees, free traffic to the CDN. Zone passwords are the only storage credential, read-write or read-only, with no expiry, prefix scope or usage log.

DigitalOcean Spaces

Per-bucket access keys with read or read-write-delete grants, an 800 operations a second limit per bucket and a 99.9 per cent SLA are all published. The MCP server manages keys and CDN endpoints only, not objects, and the S3 reference documents no error codes. A payment method is required before any bucket is created.

Bunny Storage

1. Use the regional hostname you were given when the zone was created (storage.bunnycdn.com is Frankfurt). Other regions return a 401
2. Send the body as raw bytes with --data-binary. Base64 or form encoding gets a 401
3. Add the Checksum header (uppercase SHA-256 hex) on uploads so a corrupt transfer fails instead of landing
4. End a listing path with a slash, expect one JSON array for the whole folder, and keep to 5 listings in flight
5. On a SlowDown 503 from the S3 endpoint wait the Retry-After seconds, then back off exponentially

DigitalOcean Spaces

1. Set the endpoint to https://<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com and, in AWS SDKs other than Python's, set region to us-east-1 when creating a bucket
2. Ask for a limited access key with a Read or Read/Write/Delete grant on one bucket. A full access key can create, configure and delete every bucket
3. Do the object work through the S3 API. The MCP server and doctl cannot upload, list, move or delete files
4. Retry with exponential backoff on 503 Slow Down, and keep below 800 operations a second per bucket
5. Fetch presigned links from the origin host, not the CDN. The docs say presigned requests through the CDN are not cached and can double the bandwidth charge
6. Avoid many tiny objects. Each bills as at least 4 KiB on Standard and 128 KiB on Cold Storage, which also has a 30-day minimum
